A total of 205 school children from 41 schools around the country will receive much-needed school uniforms from EnviroServ in 2024 - 80 from Gqeberha, 80 in Etwatwa and 45 from schools in and around Phomolong.

A total of 205 school children from 41 schools around the country will receive much-needed school uniforms from EnviroServ in 2024 - 80 from Gqeberha, 80 in Etwatwa and 45 from schools in and around Phomolong.

The programme, which began 11 years ago, sees the learners, who hail from schools around EnviroServ’s waste management facility, fully-kitted with brand-new school wear including blazers to shirts, jerseys, trousers, socks, shoes and tracksuits.

For some children, it was the first time they had received an item of clothing which was brand new, said EnviroServ’s Group Public Affairs Manager, Makgabo van Niekerk.

The government has made a call to corporate South Africa to assist in initiatives which accelerate nation building and development, and EnviroServ answered the call with their annual school uniform programme which clothes needy learners at schools around their operations across the country. 

“EnviroServ is privileged to yet again be able to make a difference in the lives of learners around our waste management facilities. Knowing that we will contribute to the education and well-being of our future leaders is something we do not take for granted,” said Van Niekerk.
